An OK stay
Room was clean and comfortable, telly was small and breakfast started late, 8:30, which lead to a rush for getting to work.
The room and bar were very nice and clean the staff were very pleasant and helpful plus the food was very good and fair priced a rubber mat in the shower would have been helpful
Room was beautiful and we were welcomed well, but internet adapter flashed all around the room and woke us at 3:20am and 4:30am.
Breakfast was very basic. Had to ask for drinks and toast etc. Tea was hot water in a flask and tea bags in a dish. Hoovering and cleaning going on nearby whilst eating.
A lovely friendly pub with comfortable quiet rooms which have recently been up dated. Really fantastic value for money with full English breakfast included. Not too far to explore the Cotswolds.
A really nice place to stay, staff are friendly & helpful.
If 5 star luxury it’s what your looking for it’s probably not the place for you, but for everyone else I would recommend as a good place to stay.
We love this place! This was our 3rd stay, and we will keep coming back!
Bridget and the Team are lovely, the dog friendly rooms are fab (and spacious) and set in their own oak framed building within the grounds (so nice and quiet if you want to retreat early, or have an undisturbed lie-in 😊.
Nice menu with Specials available, excellent food (including a delicious breakfast), and a great atmosphere.
See you again soon ☺️🙏👍

From the moment we arrived the staff we friendly and very helpful nothing was to much trouble. The food is fresh and tasty.
The room was clean and comfortable
Wonderful stay and we will be back. Dog friendly, rooms and pub/restaurant and so close to Coate Water (walk across a field!). Thanks to Bridget who made us feel so welcome. Rooms were spacious and great touches, such as, enough plug sockets, glasses as well as tea making, built in shelf in the powerful shower... Word of warning. You need to ring the hotel if you want a dog friendly room, hotel.com doesn't facilitate this. Needs sorting Hotel.com,
